Assertion (A): Mole fraction is smaller than mass fraction for a heavy solute in a light solvent.
Reason (R): The heavy species contributes fewer moles per unit mass than the light one does.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Both are true and the reason gives the cause: dividing by a larger molar mass yields fewer moles, so the species counts for less on a mole basis than it does by weight. The effect is largest when the molar masses differ widely.
